For the first time, hand prostheses can be conveniently charged via USB-C. Flexible LiPo batteries can be easily installed in any socket. VINCENTpower flex USB-C USB-C Charger The VINCENTpower flex USB-C makes it possible for the first time to charge a hand prosthesis easily via a USB port. What has been a matter of course for mobile devices of all kinds for many years is now also finding its way into prosthetics. With its robust and simple handling, the USB-C charging port is the ideal charging access. The prosthesis wearer only needs one charger for their prosthesis and other mobile devices such as smartphones or tablet PCs with the VINCENTpower USB power supply, certified as a medical device according to IEC 60601-1. In addition to the classic USB power supply, mobile energy storage devices such as our VINCENTpowerbank with a capacity of 10,000 mAh, but also solar cells or inductive charging systems can be used to charge the batteries. Charging via USB creates almost unlimited freedom of movement in terms of time and place for handling the prosthesis. You can focus on more important things than the next charging. Flexible LiPo cells The new battery system features LiPo cells whose shape can be adapted to the prosthesis stem. Unlike conventional LiPo cells, the individual cells, which were specially developed for this application and are only 4 mm high, can be plastically molded. They also differ from other battery cells in terms of their material and manufacturing process. The moldable LiPo battery cells are produced exclusively for Vincent Systems GmbH according to our specifications. The design has been patented by our company. Development and production are always carried out, tested and certified according to all required standards. Output voltage, protective circuit and polarity are identical to all common battery systems used in prosthetics. The 2-cell LiPo battery systems are compatible and safe to use with almost all hand prosthesis systems from common manufacturers available on the market - the only exceptions are hand systems or grippers with a higher battery voltage. This product is also available for technicians who have not yet received a VINCENT certificate. Flyer VINCENTpower flex USB-C

Previous model to the VINCENTevolution5: proven myoelectric technology, robust, lightweight, and waterproof. VINCENTevolution4 World leader at all levels WATERPROOF The world's first waterproof hand prosthesis according to IP68 (protection against prolonged submersion) EXTREMELY LIGHT The world's lightest multi-articular hand prosthesis EXTREMELY ROBUST The world's only prosthetic hand with a complete skeleton made of aluminum or titanium SENSE OF TOUCH The world's first and so far only hand prosthesis with sense of touch EASY OPERATION The world's most intuitive hand prosthesis, in which all grasp types are controlled by muscle signals PRECISION Precise powerful pinch grip enables the gripping of objects as small as ⌀1 mm CUSTOMIZABLE The world's only hand prosthesis in 5 sizes and 25 colour combinations Precision and quality The fourth generation of our hand prostheses, VINCENTevolution4, builds on the successful drive concept of VINCENTevolution3, with further improvements in gripping force and speed. The precision of the grips, the aesthetics and the quality of the hand are outstanding. Sophisticated control system A unique feature is the patented single-trigger control system, which allows all grip types to be controlled uniquely and reliably with fine sensitivity via the muscles alone. The hand does not need buttons on the back of the hand, motion controls or a smart device to select a function or grip. These types of control often take too long in practice, so the desired grips will be performe d more quickly by the natural hand. In contrast, all movements and handle changes of the VINCENTevolution4 are controlled exclusively and directly by the muscles of the prosthesis wearer and are therefore completely independent of the opposing natural hand or second prosthesis. The absence of buttons and the simplicity of the control system allow the user to safely control the prosthesis from any movement and in any situation and to achieve any grip change quickly and without errors. The prosthesis can thus optimally assist the opposite hand and thus contribute its full potential to everyday life. Uncompromisingly waterproof We have been able to implement many innovations with the new generation of hands. For example, the VINCENTevolution4 is the world's first hand prosthesis to achieve the IP68 degree of protection, which means it is uncompromisingly waterproof against continuous submersion up to a maximum of 1.5 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes, with no restrictions on the salt or chlorine content or the quality of the water. Elastic fingers The gel encapsulated fingers run more smoothly and the flexible mounting of the finger base joints allows the fingers to be squeezed together naturally when the hand is slightly spread. This not only makes the hand feel more natural, but the flexibility of the fingers also makes them much more robust and resistant to all kinds of stress. Adaptive shell For the first time, the shell of the metacarpus consists almost entirely of an elastic, high-strength material. The soft surface and its excellent adaptive properties significantly improve both the feel and the grip. In particular, the soft knuckles relieve the hand during support and extend the service life of the optionally available lifelike textile-based cosmetic gloves. A special innovation is also the completely dust-tight covering of the finger and thumb base joints. All openings of the hand have been closed by space-saving visor-like joint solutions. The optimized finger and thumb tips have been given finger nails and flattenings that enable even more precise gripping. The index finger is touch-screen compatible in the proven manner. Control with up to four muscles For the first time, a hand prosthesis has an integrated four-channel control system that allows up to four EMG sensors to be connected directly to the hand. The user can choose between two control variants: the single-signal control, in which all grips can be reached without problems and errors with only one switching signal, or the multi-channel control, in which several switching signals can be used to directly control the different grips. Controlling a bionic hand prosthesis has never been so easy and safe. Sensitive sense of touch A vibrotactile sense of touch has been integrated as standard in all VINCENT hand prostheses since VINCENTevolution1. The patented feedback of touch and gripping force provides the user with tactile information about finger strength through gentle coded vibrations of the hand, which are transmitted to the prosthesis shaft, and thus a feeling for the artificial hand. Gripping even fragile objects or sensitive control of the gripping force even without a direct eye contact to the object expand the options for the user. The extended hand feedback also stimulates the user's sensorimotor cortex, which can help reduce phantom limb pain. Tastes are different Five different basic colors give the VINCENTevolution4 an individual and unique design. The colors black, white, pearl white, transparent and natural are each available in combination with four different metal colors and titanium. 25 color combinations can be put together. A color change of the colored silicone parts is possible at any time. Less is more The smallest version of the VINCENTevolution4 XS weighs only approx. 390 g, making it not only the smallest and most stable multi-articulating hand prosthesis with 6 motors currently available, it is also by far the lightest.

Passive finger prostheses for the prosthetic reconstruction of a partial hand – up to 110° swivel range, functional, lightweight, aesthetic. VINCENTpartial passive The passive partial hand system enables prosthetic reconstruction of a partial hand. It consists of functional passive finger and thumb prostheses that can be locked in place in one or two joints in different angular positions. The weight-optimized stainless steel joints with variable-length finger or thumb attachments are very robust and water-resistant. The variable-length finger or thumb sleeves are made of durable and stain-resistant HTV silicone. The fingers are mounted directly to the stem with two screws coming from the stem or are aligned and fixed in position via various frame types made of stainless steel sheet and aluminum adapters. The fingers can be equipped with one or two successive ratchet joints. The joints function in such a way that pulling in the distal finger direction releases the locking of the joint - positioning is now possible. Releasing the finger causes the joint to lock into the desired position. In addition to the distal locking joint, the thumb has a proximal basic joint for lateral pivoting. The basic joint can be pivoted by 110° via friction locking, and the force required for this can be adjusted. The thumb is aligned and fixed in place by means of a frame plate and a threaded base plate, which can also be laminated directly into the stem. All in all, VINCENTpartial passive is an easy-to-use, robust and functional passive finger and thumb system. Flyer VINCENTpartial passive Mounting instructions finger Mounting instructions thumb

Peter tests his VINCENTevolution while swimming, diving, and stand-up paddling—waterproof, robust, and intuitively controllable. Close A Day of Swimming, Snorkeling and Stand-Up Paddleboarding – with a Myoelectric Hand Prosthesis By Peter Until now, I was never a strong swimmer. When I was in the water, I enjoyed diving and jumping off boards much more. It never occurred to me that it would be possible to swim freestyle or take part in water sports with my VINCENTevolution4 myoelectric hand prosthesis, until Stefan Schulz, CEO of Vincent Systems, asked whether I would like to try something new. He had developed a new product that would allow me to enter the water while wearing my binoic prosthesis. Of course, curiosity won. Before I knew it, my prosthetic socket was fitted with the VINCENTaqua neoprene sleeve to make it waterproof. The VINCENTevolution4 itself is already designed as a waterproof myoelectric prosthetic hand. Stop 1: Outdoor Swimming Pool! After pulling on the neoprene sleeve, we went straight into the water. We started with freestyle swimming. At first, I felt uncertain. I wondered whether the socket would withstand the water without damage. As far as I knew, no one had ever used a myoelectric hand prosthesis in the water and then confirmed that it still functioned afterward. But once I fully entered the pool and realized I could still control the prosthetic hand even though the socket was completely underwater, all doubts disappeared. The prosthesis functioned just as reliably as it does on land. Swimming freestyle with a prosthetic hand felt unusual at first, but also surprisingly natural. I adjusted the bionic hand into its natural grip position, similar to how I would normally shape my hand for swimming. The swimming movements felt intuitive from the beginning. They came almost automatically. Stop 2: Quarry Lake! My prosthetic hand and the neoprene sleeve meet the IP68 protection rating, which is currently unique for a myoelectric hand prosthesis. This means the technology can withstand a water depth of up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Naturally, I wanted to test that. I quickly learned that it is better to put on diving fins while already in the water. Using both hands, I was able to pull the fin straps over my heels and adjust my diving mask. Stefan and I began snorkeling and then diving underwater. I managed to reach nearly two meters in depth. Even underwater, I was still able to control the prosthesis and give Stefan a hand signal to show that everything was okay. After the successful dive, we moved on to stand-up paddleboarding. First, I had to find my balance to avoid falling off the board. Then I needed to determine the best grip position for the prosthetic hand in order to hold the paddle securely. After a short time, I was able to steer the board safely. It was a lot of fun. Overall, I was positively surprised by how intuitively I could use the waterproof bionic prosthesis in, on, and under the water without constantly worrying whether it would withstand the conditions. It was a day full of new experiences that helped break down a mental barrier for me. What the VINCENTevolution4 prosthetic hand delivers in terms of robustness and everyday usability truly represents a new level in modern prosthetic technology. It frees my mind from limitations that had previously been part of my daily life.

2004 - Fluidhand 7 Up The Fluidhand 7 is designed as an experimental hand. It is used to develop new control methods and to test a new tank system that is capable of storing energy. The hand therefore has one valve for each of the 8 drives. A type of spring accumulator was developed for the hydraulic tank, which allows the hand to be closed quickly and silently without the hydraulic pump operating. Due to the large number of new and experimental components, the metacarpus has turned out to be significantly larger than the previous model, but at this stage of development, the anatomical shape and size of the hand is not a priority. For the hydraulic system, experiments were carried out with a tank that allows energy recovery when the hand is opened. The tank consists of a rigid outer shell and an elastic tank bladder inside. Between the outer shell and the tank bubble is a two-phase gas under constant pressure of 2 bar. In the intermediate space, just enough gas is formed from the liquid aggregate state until a constant pressure is reached. When the hand is opened, gas is formed; when it is closed, it is compressed into liquid, at a constant working pressure of 2 bar at room temperature. The internal diaphragm with the hydraulic fluid is thus under the pressure of the gas. When a valve is opened, a finger joint is already moved without the hydraulic pump having been activated. The pump can then build up even greater grasping force with a time delay. In this way, very dynamic and also noiseless finger movements are possible. When the drives are emptied, the water is pressed back into the tank, against the pressure of the two-phase gas, and the system is ready for the next grasping process. Up

High-performance sports prosthesis with flexible, shock-absorbing wrist for safe training up to 200 kg, ideal for athletes and everyday work. VINCENTwork | Work prosthesis The VINCENTwork prosthesis system is an orthopedic aid for everyday work but also for competitive athletes. In particular, training with heavy weights is an important training discipline in numerous sports. Previous fittings in the field of prosthetics were not designed for the high loads involved in competitive sports. The new prosthesis series makes it possible to train with weights of up to 200 kg. Snatching and alternating loads are also permitted without any problems at the maximum weights. A special feature is the flexible wrist. This allows a movement compensation between the training weight and the forearm stem. The joint flexes in all directions in a damped manner and also allows unlimited rotation compensation. Shocks and tensile forces are elastically absorbed and damped. The concept allows improved, symmetrical training with both arms and thus supports a natural movement pattern. This not only makes training more efficient, but also less stressful for the joints and the entire musculoskeletal system. Equipped with a shock-absorbing, rotating and angle-compensating wrist, the sports prosthesis enables safe training without limits. Flyer VINCENTwork

Answers to frequently asked questions about hand prostheses, exoskeletons, technology, cost coverage, and everyday life with Vincent Systems products. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions I would like a VINCENT prosthesis. What do I need to do? You can get an appointment for a consultation and a prosthetic fitting from an orthopedic technician who has experience in the field of arm prosthetics. For a consultation appointment and fitting of a VINCENT prosthesis, the prosthetist must have attended appropriate training and obtained a certificate for these products. You can find a list of certified partners here: Partners near you. Does health insurance pay for the prosthesis? The costs for a prosthetic fitting with a VINCENT hand system are usually covered by all insurance providers. However, it is always an individual decision by the respective health insurance company whether a fitting is approved in each case. This depends on many factors that affect the prosthesis user, not so much the hand prosthesis. As soon as a prescription from the doctor is available, the prosthetist applies to the health insurance company for the fitting. If the application is rejected, this preliminary decision can also be appealed, and the prosthetist will usually handle this for you as well. An experienced prosthetist knows the legal situation; he can advise you and guide you through the process to the finished prosthesis. From what age is the VINCENTyoung3+ suitable? We recommend our pediatric and adolescent hand prosthesis from the age of 8. Ultimately, it depends on the development of the child. Let our certified partners advise you. Can I get my prosthesis wet? All VINCENT prostheses are splash-proof. The Evolution3+ and the Evolution4 are water resistant, these hands can be cleaned under running water and immersed in water, the immersion depth is not limited by the hand but by the water protection of the prosthesis stem. The Evolution4 has the highest water protection in the range of multi-articulating hand systems. Can I drive when wearing a prosthesis? Please do not drive in road traffic with your VINCENT prosthesis without further notice and observe our safety and warranty information. In order to be allowed to drive a vehicle with a hand prosthesis, a corresponding modification as well as the approval of the registration authority / TÜV [German technical inspection association] is usually required. Please contact your local registration office for more information. Do I have to wear a glove with the VINCENT prostheses? The hand has been designed to follow an aesthetic and anatomical shape even without a cosmetic glove. Materials and passive elasticities in the joints convey a natural feel. Therefore, most users wear the hand without a cosmetic cover. Vincent’s artificial hand systems combine excellent high-tech with design and quality. They are like a piece of clothing that underlines the personality of its wearer. Most people find the technology fascinating, combined with a positive interest in the new type of artificial hand. What should I do if the prosthesis breaks? Should it ever happen that the prosthesis no longer works, the orthopedic technician is the first port of call. He will take care of the repair or may even be able to solve the problem. How loud is the prosthesis? Depending on the prosthesis variant, there are up to 6 motors in an artificial hand. These rotate at a high speed and drive the prosthesis via a multi-stage planetary gear and another gear stage directly in the finger joint. This causes a motor noise depending on the muscle signal-controlled speed. The noise becomes louder the more motors run simultaneously and the faster they rotate. Slow hand movements are therefore also very quiet, comparable, for example, to the noise of an electric telephoto lens of a digital camera. The hand is loudest when all motors are closed simultaneously at maximum speed, e.g. in the cylinder grip. This noise can then be compared to the moving noise of a model railroad, for example. The user of the hand can therefore control the soundscape very easily via his muscle signals. How heavy is the hand? A natural human hand of an adult weighs about 350 g to 500 g, depending on body size. The weight of an artificial hand is not distributed as optimally on the arm as that of the natural one. Also, the weight of the socket, liner and the battery add to the weight of the prosthesis. In addition, the heaviest component of the prosthesis, the hand, is located at the outermost, distal end of the arm, so the leverage ratios are particularly unfavorable. A hand prosthesis must therefore be as light as possible. VINCENT hand systems weigh between approx. 300 g and 480 g, depending on the type of hand. Do you have further questions?
